> But IMHO a new system property/run time flag will add the need to run
always twice the full suite at every build/release.
Maybe. We have a good degree of flakyness in our testing and wondering if
using this type of change for our precommit hook will increase performance and
stability (especially if we can use something similar for server<->server).
> At this moment I think it is not the time to add an official "local
transport" netty connection factory.
Agreed.
> I can't find how to enable Netty for server-to-server communications
It is currently not possible. All communications there are handled by old
fashioned sockets. I was incorrect in my other comment, although I still think
my point is valid. Is there a way to have similar functionality with old
fashioned java sockets? I don't think this change makes too much sense for
testing unless we can take zk off the OS network stack entirely.
